My app has a menu called "Document". On Tahoe, this appears as a lightbulb icon.
Is this deliberate? Is it possible to stop this? Or do I just have to use a different name if I want people to read words?

Hey there,
I recently updated my iPhone to the iOS 26 developers beta version, and I’m encountering an issue on the Software Update page. It says “Unable to check for updates,” and I’m unable to revert to iOS 18.
Is this a temporary problem? Will I be able to update my iPhone in the future without needing to reset it?
Thanks

I applied for the Apple Developer Program on January 31, 2026, and as of today (February 5, 2026), my enrollment is still showing as Pending.
The payment was completed successfully at the time of application. Since then:
I have not received any requests for additional documents or verification.
I have contacted Apple Developer Support twice, but have not received any response so far.
I understand processing times can vary, but the lack of response from support is concerning.
Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently?
Is there any recommended escalation path or alternative way to reach the Developer Support team?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as this delay is impacting my app release timeline.
Thank you.
I’m concerned because my iCloud account was recently migrated to AWS (Amazon Web Service) against my will, and now it seems.like people are rummaging through my files, photos, and mail, When I try to contact Apple Support, I get bumped to a spoofed site. Calling the hotline is the same, I get a Siri operator with platitudes and gaslighting but no action. I have run sysdiagnose and it looks really sketchy.
Can anyone help?
Hi everyone,
I’m not sure if this is the right place for it, but I wanted to share a bit of my background and ask for advice from developers who’ve been in the industry longer than me.
I started learning to make games when I was a kid using Game Maker.
Later I got into Unity and even worked a few years as a solo developer for small startups — building Unity apps, VR projects, AR demos, websites, servers, everything.
But I never had a real team, never had mentorship, and none of the projects I worked on ever reached production or real users.
Life changed and I moved to the US, where I had to switch careers completely.
Now I’m trying to come back to software development, but I’m struggling with a feeling that I’m “not good enough” anymore.
The tech world has moved so fast, and companies like OpenAI, Meta, Epic, etc., feel way out of reach.
So my question to the community is:
How did you get started in your career?
Did you ever feel like you weren’t good enough?
How did you push through that and continue improving?
Any honest advice would help a lot.
Thanks.
Hi @DTS Engineer
in tvOS 26.2 Beta is still this annoying Shadow Glitch… 😔
I have submitted an Bug-Report, but dont get an Answer… FB18719371
The Animation is not smooth and the Shadow is abruptly „jumping“…
I don’t get any Response from the Apple Engineers. But this GUI Glitch makes the otherwise very high-quality tvOS GUI appear very unprofessional.
Could you please help me? 🤔

I'm totally baffled by the changes Apple made on iOS18 about certificates usage in the built-in mail application.
They decided that self-signed are not accepted any more, fine. As long as you can install your own root CA and trust it, it should be fine.
But NO! They have also decided that mail will only accept IMAP servers using a domain name, no more just and IP address. So you can't get any IP-based certificate that will be accepted by the mail app, even with the right SAN and al.
I've tried two "identical" certs, one with a domain and one with an IP and the domain works while the IP fails, being rejected as non-valid by the app. The most funny part is that the IP cert is good enough to configure mail (can see the successful login), but is being rejected when reading emails.
I'm really fed up with the "Apple police" that wants to push us not using our own storage anymore. My se case is simple, I have an IMAP server that is used by family to archive all emails and keep them organized, saved forever and away from being scanned.
I need to access that server either when locally connected or through VPN. For VPN, I use split tunnels because I don't want all traffic to go to tunnel. Nor do I want to create my own local DNS server and have all VPN clients use such DNS server only for the sake of having a domain name for the IMAP server. Nor do I want to open an external port to redirect to my IMAP server (that works of course as then I can use DDNS ...). Talk about increased security!
This is insane
The Uber Driver app is able to get background location and there’s no way to turn it off from settings. Unlike other apps where there’s always an option to turn off background location from settings.
Is this a bug or special treatment for big companies?
this matters to me because we’re in a similar business but our app has to request background permissions, explicitly.
I am attaching both of the screenshots here for you to compare and see.
Please note that I verified personally that Uber Driver app is able to get background location.
since updating from 18.3 to 18.4, both on cellular and WiFi Networks I can’t connect to the internet.
Since the phone wont connect to the internet I’m not able to turn off “find my iPhone“ to restore my iPhone to iOS 18.3
this way my iPhone is useless
any ideas / thoughts about this?

System data is beyond a joke now.
There constant logs being generated and stored somewhere with zero access and ability to delete or clear up. I’ve even tried changing the date hack, however this just created some space from system but mostly just unloaded my apps (a feature which I’ve now disabled, as virtually everything is unloaded now apart from essential items).
Apple support says wipe and start again, I’m sure that’s not a solution? Anyone figured out how to resolve this?
Also you can’t even force videos into the cloud, frustrating when I’ve got no space and pay for iCloud and have zero space left on my phone. It’s suppose to be intelligent.

I downloaded Xcode Beta 26 and built the POS code repository project. However, an error appeared: unable to find the module dependency 'minizip'. No changes have been made to the repository since upgrading to iOS 18.0. Is this a new issue with Xcode 26, and what are the resolution steps?

Hello, my name is Natalia, I'm Ukrainian.
Please tell me how to contact Apple to propose a new development?
It's more about a startup.
Hi Guys!
I’ve been encountering some issues while testing the latest iOS beta.
Is anyone else experiencing similar bugs?
Test environment:
Device enrolled in iOS 26 Beta since June 9th, 5:00 PM (BRT)
Hardware-related issues:
• The device is overheating during routine tasks, especially when screen brightness is set to maximum.
• Battery life has dropped significantly — approximately 20% to 30% shorter compared to iOS 18.5
UX/UI issues:
• Scrollbars occasionally behave erratically in some apps — scrolling leads to empty areas or becomes unresponsive.
• When opening a new tab in Safari, the app sometimes freezes and requires a force restart.
• The Control Center is difficult to interact with due to excessive transparency, which gives the impression that the icons are scattered without visual hierarchy.

Every week or so, mouse driver locks up. The LED laser goes out and none of the buttons operate. It's a generic 7 button USB mouse with my USB keyboard still active. I do not know what precipitates the lockup and a system diagnostic request (Sft-Alt-Ctl-Cmd .) does not seem to yield anything useful.
> ps -ef|grep -i mouse
501 579 1 0 Mon01PM ?? 0:04.42 /System/Library/ExtensionKit/Extensions/MouseExtension.appex/Contents/MacOS/MouseExtension
code-block
so the mouse extension was running at the time. With a "sudo kill -HUP 579" it did not restart.
Also, switching to a different mouse did no good. The mouse driver was behaving like it was deadlocked and I didn't know the correct incantation for restarting it. I power cycle reset the box.
SO:
you have a mouse driver problem
it cannot be just me
It behaves like a deadlock, but not knowing how to get a mouse driver dump, I cannot tell what lock(s) its waiting for.
Hello Apple Developer Community,
I’m seeking guidance regarding a critical issue with our organization’s Apple Developer Program account. The Apple ID belonging to our Account Holder is currently inaccessible, which has effectively blocked us from managing the account.
We urgently need either to restore access to that Apple ID or have the Account Holder role reassigned so we can continue maintaining and updating our apps.
I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support but have not yet received a actionable response, and the matter is time-sensitive because our clients depend on our ability to manage these applications.
Relevant details:
Our enrollment type supposed to be converted to Organization/Company.
The Account Holder’s Apple ID is locked and cannot be used.
I have Admin/Manager-level access via a separate Apple ID.
Based on the official documentation, transferring the Account Holder role requires initiation by the current Account Holder, which isn’t possible under these circumstances. If anyone has dealt with a similar situation or knows the most effective way to escalate this with Apple, I would greatly appreciate your advice.
A few days ago I installed beta 1 of macOS 26 Tahoe on a spare MacBook Pro 14-inch M4. Everything went well, and it looks okay (well, I don't like it at all, but hey-ho), and I shut it down.
I started it up today, and it rejects my login password every time, then locks my account. When I click the link to "Restart and show password reset options" I'm asked for my Apple ID details, so I enter the correct email and password, then the MBP reboots and I'm back on the login screen with no indication that anything has changed.
Guess I'm stuck now... FB18364657

«Hello everyone, after installing iOS 26, I noticed that on my iPhone 13 Pro, which had its battery replaced, the battery status in the settings shows 0%, and the phone does not charge more than 1%, no matter how long I leave it plugged in. The same problem is observed on iPhones 14 and lower where the battery (FB18154101) was replaced.»

The latest Beta update 18.5.4 has caused connectivity problems with my car (Skoda Enyaq) whereby there is no connection via Bluetooth or the cars internal WiFi.
Also contacts will not download to the care which is very frustrating.

The last "App Store Connect: App Analytics Weekly Summary" email I received was June 3. My apps are still up and the emails are not going to spam. In my Apple Developer settings, "App Analytics Weekly Email Summary" is still set to on (i.e. "Receive a weekly email."). Coincidentally, on June 9 I received an email about updated agreements and guidelines, which I hadn't logged in to accept until today. Is this related, and if so, why should it be? If something else is causing the missing emails, how can that be resolved?
